In January, I expanded this caption into an 18,000 word short story and submitted to a Dreamspinner anthology. Although I was initially rejected due to my hilarious amount of grammar errors from writing last-minute content, someone dropped out so I got the spot. Yay!

My second publication, Orion’s New Leash on Life, will be published by Dreamspinner Press in June as part of their Mended anthology. In it, a Master suffering from depression finds a lifeline thanks to an upbeat pup boy.

This is the cover for the anthology (click to expand):

Since my short story is also being released on its own, it gets its own cover as well. However, the pup that inspired the caption did not want his face or likeness used, and there was a lack of stock photography involving pups (gee, big surprise). So, I asked a friend to help. I am pleased to announce that the boy on the cover will be gayboykink! He created and sent over five photos less than 24 hours after I sent the request. My editor loved one, and it’s a done deal. Here is a teaser of his neck as the cover isn’t yet finalized (click to expand):

I’ll keep everyone updated when more information comes. I will also be routing my Tumblr through a domain name by June, and you’ll be notified of that as well.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned!
